Does anyone know where fans in either the Albany, NY or Springfield, MA areas will be gathering to watch the game? Or, if anyone just knows a "soccer friendly" bar in either area let me know. I will be on a camping vacation about halfway between the two cities without any access to Telemundo?
I still believe it will be on live English TV, probably FSC. There's no reason it wouldn't be. But if you find a place in Albany let me know. Albany isn't exactly a soccer town though.
I don't know if its open in the summer on a Saturday night but the new "bar/lounge" at Afrim's (indoor soccer facility) in Colonie, NY (Albany 'burb) would probably show it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I called today and Afrim's said that they would probable show the game, but they couldn't guarentee it. I am going to call on Saturday afternoon to get a same-day update. It is a further drive for me since I am coming from east of Albany, NY. But, if there are fans gathering to watch the game I will make the effort. It would be much prefered to watching the game alone in an Albany, NY or Springfield, MA bar.
if afrim's doesn't show it, you will not be able to watch it in my home town of smalbany, ny. horrible, horrible sports town.
Thanks for the insider's info on Albany. I am going to skip Afrim's since it is a longer drive. With the recent announcement of the game being carried on ESPN Classic my options have enlarged. I suspect most sports bars will have ESPN Classic. I will find one in either South Egremont, MA or Great Barrington, MA.
I found a co-worker who is also a soccer fan to watch the game with me in Springfield, MA. I called JTS Sports Pub (1373 Main St, 413-733-5714) and Mr. DS Sports Bar (578 Main St, 413-436-5761) and they both carry ESPN Classic. I guess I will check them both out around 7 pm since they are within less than a mile from each other.
